NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 40 - Matt Broke My TV

I've always wanted Brooks to do well.

But this year its just become hard. The Tigers have been in contention during the 2nd half quite often this year, and when they are looking for a try at a crucial time you never get the feeling that Luke Brooks will conjure something up.
he's not the only problem in the team, but getting a proper halfback needs to be 1st, 2nd and 3rd priority )which I guess explains why we've been apparently reaching out to every man and his dog over in England trying to get someone)

In real life it's still Cleary without any hesitation for me. Plenty of big game experience now, finals and origin. Seen him execute in plenty of big moments. Look at that drop goal to force OT a little while back, just pulled off that mega clutch play with ice in his veins like nothing. Seen him make much bigger plays on D as well.

Personally I'd take Munster and DCE over Hynes for now as well (ignoring age) because again so much experience in big moments.

I feel like, even though I don't like Melbourne or Queensland, that Munster doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves. Like everyone accepts he's good, but he's so fucking good, can break games apart with ease, his energy brings others up around him, and he's just got that when everything is on the line give me the fucking ball and I'll give you some magic to him.

Manu built for fantasy mate especially in that position.  I have a slight man crush but playing that position, he looks like almost a must have.

I`d take Munster over everyone.

Might be some QLD bias but he`s always there in the big moments and as you said his energy just lifts everyone around him.

Would also be a great marketing tool for any club, kids in QLD idolize him.

I am tossing up between Latrell and Manu

Reason I am worried about Manu is that I think Sam Walker comes back before too long, and then Manu just becomes an above average centre

Can trade him in for potential short term and hope he keeps up his big scores at 6, but worried about burning too many trades.
Obviously Latrell has availability issues with origin coming up, but other than that he can sit in my team all year and and I don't have to worry about spending another trade on him,

Was also considering Drinkwater, but Cowboys form this year didn't inspire enough confidence. Based on last night, he may have been worth a punt but too late now

Coach media has assistant Fein pumping up Niko Katoa combo,  doesnt sound like things are changing this week unless he is a massive liar

I was just discussing what would happen, but I agree, I cannot see them simply resting him. That screams complacency and not something you want to encourage.

Yeah if the score blows out he might have an early shower, but thats game dependant.

I have a strange feeling the Tigers wont be push-overs. Maybe last 20 mins Panthers rack up some points but I think the first half will be a tight battle. Basing this on SFA

I suspect Milf survived the first cut because Nicholls dropped out

What would that have to do with it?
